Phnom Penh is a good little party town,
offering a heady dusk till dawn nightlife and a variety of places
from which to choose. Bars and clubs are scattered across the town,
but as the city is fairly compact and many of the bars are clustered
on a few ‘bar streets,’ it’s easy to hop between. The riverfront area
sports dozens of bars including many of the
hostess variety up the sidestreets; the Streets 278/51 area
of
Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) area
is dotted with bars including several travelers places; chic
micro-bars crowd Bassac Lane off Street 308 off Norodom Blvd
near the Independence Monument; and very late night
Street 51 is
undoubtedly the busiest pub street in town.

There's something for everybody -
neighborhood
bars and after-work places like Rehabb Pub and
Sports Bar in BKK1, plenty of hostess bars, some good wine bars,
at least a couple of places with live music, a few
clubs, and for late nighters more than a few 24/7 bars, especially
in the Street 51 area and near the riverfront.
